hello all! I am new to these forums! so what is your opinion?
gtx 770 or a gtx 780. I use a single 1080p 60hz monitor. I play bf4 and I want to run on ultra averaging 60plus frames.

A 660TI does what you want with 2XMSAA.

The 770 is in a bad place, the only NVIDIA cards anyone should be considering is the 760 or 780, so take your pick. Do you want to just coast through 1080p gaming? Pickup a 760, do you want the option to go up to 1440p later, or consider a meaningful upgrade path, 780.

I honestly doubt in the next 6 months, you're going to be able to remotely find an AMD part over 280x @MSRP, without running scripts, or camping till 4 in the fucking morning.
 
I have 770gtx 4GB evga hydrocopper and can run BF4 Ultra 4xmsaa at 1080P its over 60fps.
Running Surround 6000x1080 at same setting on non jungle heavy maps still just over 60fps and vram hits 3.7GB max on jungle heavy maps avg 50fps

There isn't much point in going with a GTX 770 4GB since it doesn't have the bandwidth to utilize 4GB VRAM. The best card to go with is the EVGA GTX 780 Classified w/ ACX http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E8PAAUS which will dance circles around the 770 long term.

The 780 DOES have the bandwidth to utilize 3GB VRAM and the EVGA Classified model is the best on the market. It has a great custom PCB, efficient cooler, and can OC extremely well on air cooling.

770 runs BF4 just fine on ultra 4xmsaa at 1080P and is cheaper than 780. You dont need a 780 for 1080P
 
If you are going to do a single gpu. Get the 780 and be done with it. If you are going to do sli, get the 770 and add a second one later.


@ JahRas, I would like to see all those rads you have. Got any pictures of this setup.
